Ride on the Eva Train One Last Time

The Evangelion Shinkansen is all sorts of cool compressed into one sleek vehicle. Entering service in late 2015, its phenomenal popularity has seen it being renewed with a bunch of exclusive goodies thrown in for fans of the epic series. Unfortunately, the bullet train (called 500 Type Eva) is ceasing operation after May 13, 2018.

There’s a ton of Evangelion stuff in the collaboration, including special train announcements for major stops along the route voiced by enigmatic character, Kaworu. Passengers can even experience what the main protagonist, Shinji, must have felt in the unique cockpit made to resemble those found in the anime’s Entry Plugs. Prospective pilots will be selected via lottery.
